NASHUA — CJ Boykin hit an off-balance, left-handed, 15-footer in the lane as time expired to lift the Bishop Guertin boys baketball team to a 70-68 Division I victory over Winnacunnet on Friday.

"I am not happy with the result, but I am very pleased with the effort," Winnacunnet coach Jay McKenna said. "The kids played hard. We did everything we could to defend that shot at the end; it just went in."

Winnacunnet (6-3) played without senior starting point guard Rich Ruffin, who sustained an ankle injury in Monday's win over Spaulding.

"We hope to get him back next week," McKenna said. "Playing without Rich Ruffin and coming within a basket of a 10-win team, it shows we can compete with anyone."

Knollmeyer hit two free throws with 30 seconds to tie the game at 68-68.
